The Chicago Bears have made it a goal of theirs to support their quarterback of the future, Caleb Williams, this offseason by addressing several needs on offense. The offensive line, in particular, looks to be one of the best in the league after the front office swung several moves to revamp the position. However, one move that may not be in the cards is a reunion with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen.
The Bears picked up Allen in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers last offseason, and he ended up catching 70 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns. He took a backseat to other weapons in the offense at times, though, with D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze getting bigger roles than him as the season went on. Allen has been linked to a reunion with the Chargers in free agency, and fans were quick to note that the Bears gave away his No. 13 jersey to wide receiver Maurice Alexander.
“Those Bears listed the 2025 roster and tucked into the massive wealth of information there is a notable little detail—wide receiver Maurice Alexander has been assigned the No. 13. That No. 13, of course, last belonged to Allen, who donned the same number during his lengthy Chargers tenure,” Chris Roling wrote for Los Angeles Chargers on SI.
